Main House: North Facade Restored
This photo shows the north elevation shortly after the limestone had been restored. -
Main House: North Facade
The north facade was the usual entrance for those arriving by automobile. A driveway wound round the front door, and there were parking spaces in the foreground. -
Main House: Belvedere Restored
The same view taken after the limestone restoration. Note the balustrade atop the front porch has been replaced with solid wall. -
Main House: Belvedere
Another view of the belvedere, a covered porch with grand view of the Hudson, which was the predominant feature of the east facade -
Main House: Mansion & Aphrodite
The Aphrodite moored in the Hudson River below the Esopus mansion. Carrère & Hastings arranged the landscaping to act as a framework for the mansion, but it also served to observers in the mansion as a framework for the Aphrodite. Note the outline of a house hidden behind trees just above the bow of the Aphrodite. We have no knowledge of who built this house, which was along the road leading towards the left where Archibald Russell's landing had been established. Even the foundations seem to have been obliterated. Payne's yacht, the Aphrodite, moored below the main house. -

Main House: Long View
Conversely, these same trees formed a frame for the main house when seen from the river or across the river in North Hyde Park. -
Main House: Porch View
The design team planned that the trees from the mansion to the river would frame Payne's yacht, the Aphrodite. This was not evident in 1942, as the space between the river road and the river was overgrown with tall trees. The plan became evident when these trees were cleared in the early 1950s. -
Main House: Side View
South and east elevations after restoration of the limestone exterior. -
Main House- 1915
South and east elevations of main house. The main entrance was the east elevation. The balustrade in foreground surrounded a formal garden outside the dining room. -
Main House: Front View
Oliver Hazard Payne lived in Esopus for a shorter time than any other owner. Yet his decisions cast a long shadow over his successors. Designed by architects Carrie & Hastings, the main house was modeled on a villa Payne noticed on the French or Italian Riviera during one of his summer trips on the Aphrodite.
